Adam Kinzinger says he's glad family letter was released so Americans could see the real divides over Trump

Rep. Adam Kinzinger is shunned by his family members over criticism of former President Donald Trump. In this file photo from September 16, 2020, Kinzinger is seen on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who has made a name for himself within the party by speaking out against former President Donald Trump, said the country can learn from the rift his outspoken views have caused within his family.

As the result of being one of 10 Republican members to vote to impeach Trump last month, 11 members of Kinzinger's family sent a letter to him accusing him of being a part of the "devil's army." The New York Times first reported on the letter last week.
